Man you are the greatest mechanic you show to us regular people how to change timing belt and other stuff . Just roll Baybe

I may have to come to NY to get this service done. hahaha. Thanks to you I was able to replace my rear wheel bearing on my A3 by watching the video you uploaded. Thanks for giving us something to learn from. I would like to do this myself but I care to much for my car to trust myself to do it.

Edge Motors = Best auto repair videos on youtube, as always. Five STARS! Thanks

Это пожалуй лучшее видео в интернете, о замене водяной помпы и ремня ГРМ на AUDI A4 B7 Огромное спасибо за такое подробное видео!!!

wow, i watched a video before this explaining how to do the same job but 20 minutes into yours i understood the other vid was done by a quack mechanic and thanked the lord almighty i didn't venture with that knowledge..... good job.... given the tools and all, this is no walk in the park

Exactly what I needed to get ready for a water pump replacement. Best to replace the timing belt and parts while I am in there. Thanks guys, awesome write up.

Excellent video-you saved a ton of labor by not removing the radiator (I thought that had to be done). Really, these cars are difficult to work on-it is nice to go to an expert like you.

Great job making these Videos and repairing these cars! We all Appreciate it!

Great to see a pro in action.

You guys are amazing....thanks for all the great videos....

Big thanks for the vid! Did the replacenet successfully today.

Great video!! I usually don't waste my time commenting but you deserve it good job again

Good job man, very professional work, well done. Keep going.

great great work my brother, i watched the whole video, very informative btw

Nice video, very intelligent mechanic / dude. Like the accent

ive done loads of a4,s its just easier to take the PAS pipe off, disconnect the coolant pipes and move the front scuttle panel as one and place the ac condenser underneath the car hand hold it in place wuth a tie strap, then you can get to the crank pulley bolts with out pissing about

You do great work. Thanks for this video 👌 👍 keep up the good work.

Am having it tomorrow to be worked upon wish me luck thanks for the video

Hiya, I was going to use your DIYs to tackle my B7s thermostat and timing belt. First timing belt job for me. I was wondering, I notice you don't really break out a torque wrench, have you had any issues without using one? I I am not using any power tools when I do mine. I do have a torque wrench, btw.

Great video. Powerfull and helpful

Hi, Great video, do you know if the procedure is the same for a Seat Exeo TFSI. Thanks

I used HEPU water pump with metal impeller from FCP. 60K miles so far. No leak at all. Also, I used the metal+plastic gasket for the water pump.

This is awesome! Im going to change my water pump on my FSI 2.0 and this vid is really helpful! So how long did it take to actually do the job start to finish? Thanks

What product did you use as a spray cleaner after removing the covers?

Thank you for the video

Metal ones do not leak like you explain in said video. If manufactured right and not cheaply pressed like the plastic ones they last twice the lifetime of cheap plastic one you put in. You're just trying to get customers to come back to you when its not needed. Plus there is VW OEM Metal Impeller ones so don't tell your customers the opposite of the truth. Also huge common issue with plastic ones is they shatter making them the worse thing VW ever put in a car.Their bearings are pressed and sealed unlike plastic ones where they are just pressed and when get old and weak they fall out causing a pump and or timing belt failure.

Will be tackling timing belt in B6 Passat BPY. Wish me luck!

Do these motors not have a cam and crank seal that could be change at the time of the timing belt?

on 24:26, what time of fluid are you using? is it safe on rubber gaskets and seals?

great video ,thanks

should i put liquid gasket around the water pump O ring ? i have the metal one

Nice job well done

Amazing video keep it up

Hey EdgeMotors! I really enjoy the videos you have been making. I recently just followed the cam follower video to do a replacement and it worked out great! I do have a question about Timing belts though, I didnt feel comfortable at my current level to do a timing belt change (2008 A4 2.0L) so I brought it to local VW/Audi shop. I am currently experiencing (after 2-3 weeks) high idle RPM and 1st and 2nd gear are rough as well. Is this a cause of a bad timing belt install or maybe something else?

@EDGEMOTORS

not sure, have to see it before saying anything... but high idle usually mean vacuum leak...

Thank you so much for this! I followed all your steps except removing the two small idler pulleys which did not have to be removed and according your own video was never a factor. Everything else was spot on. Excellent video and I'm amazed that you did not criticize Audi engineers for such a terrible layout when it comes to routine maintenance. Really, remove the front end of the car for simple maintenance, my God!

Thanks for your videos. Always helpful. I recently changed my timing belt on my 2008 A4 B7. 95,000 miles on first timing belt. I noticed when I took off the upper cover that the timing mark on the tooth was about a tooth and a half to the left of the arrow. The crankshaft mark and harmonic balancer were lined up. The car was running fine. So the question was whether to line up on the marks or to original position. I chose to go in between. I manually rotated to check for interference. all good. Started car and ran well for about 40 miles. Then P0300 error. Replaced coils and plugs. Ran fine for 5 minutes then P0302 error. I think the timing is off and wondering to go with timing marks or original position. Thoughts? Thanks.

I’d go over part numbers on all pulleys to make sure they are from your car… and then set it to the marks. Check for interference and try to run it. Btw, if it should be timing issue with misfires, you should of get a camshaft position sensor code or cam/crank correlation code.

is the timing belt the same as a cambelt? my Audi is a sportback 2007, 2.0T and is sounding at times a bit like a diesel. i was advised that the cambelt needed replacing at 120000km and am on 148000km already as i thought it was changed already at 90000km, but this was not the case. booking it in next week, but was wondering if you could perhaps answers these two questions for me? thanks for the video!

I was talking about the flange hex bolts. They have a smaller diameter head size (minus the flange) for a socket to fit on versus a regular hex head. I've used them successfully in places where only a torx, etorx, or allen head would work. For instance on the starter bolts on a BMW e36 and the transmission bell housing bolts are normally etorx because of the casting. A normal hex head will fit into the area until the socket bottoms out against the bellhousing so you can't advance it in any further. A flange head hex bolt with a smaller socket requirement works fine. Also you could try etorx as well. It would save from stripping out those allen heads.
